Again, try to send a 2007 .doc document to a Mac Office - or to a
previous Office version. Try to do the same with a .doc from 2003 to a
1999 version and the other way around.

It doesn't work, it's not in Microsoft's interest to make it work
because they want everyone to upgrade to the last Office.

That's *not* interoperability.

Best,
